by Djamil Al-Halbouni, GEOMAR - Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research, Kiel, Germany
This image is composed of several dozens of individual images taken by a drone above the former lake bed of the Dead Sea. The colors of the sinkholes are based on the mineral content of the water and ground. Superficial drainage channels appear dry in this image.
